Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. This is the social proposition of Gu, a famous Confucian scholar in the early Qing Dynasty, that is, the survival of the country and the nation is the responsibility of every citizen. At that time, the Ming Dynasty had perished, which was followed by the establishment of the Qing Dynasty. Gu believes that the demise of the Ming Dynasty is just a change of emperor, and the original lifestyle and rule under the guidance of Confucianism have not changed, which is called national subjugation; However, the rule of the Qing dynasty not only needed a new emperor, but also needed to change the original way of life and even change the political rule with benevolence and righteousness as the core. This is called surrendering to the world. Therefore, what Gu said about the world actually mainly refers to the primitive lifestyles of the Han nationality and the Han nationality. However, because Gu separated the world from the country, he called on people not to fight for the rise and fall of a certain royal family, but to fight for the survival of the nation, which was of great progressive significance in China's social thought. Gu's thought was later summed up as these eight words, which has a strong appeal for inspiring the people of China to struggle for the survival of their own nation. In the modern history of China, it was invaded by imperialism many times, and the Chinese nation faced the problem of life and death more than once. At this time, the slogan "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" inspired the people of China to rise up against imperialist aggression.
